Okay, a lame week of game releases. No major titles and what makes it worse is that we were lied to about getting Mega Man 2 on the Virtual Console today, we were also told that Samurai Shodown II and Ys Book I & II were supposed to be released on the Virtual Console as well, but nope.

Oh, but a great week to be a Disney Channel fan, with both The Cheetah Girls: Passport to Stardom and Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour. My kid sister would love these games. A lame week indeed.

This week’s selection of game releases seems to be one of the better weeks of the summer so far with the release of the highly anticipated Soul Calibur IV, and a host of new games coming out for the Wii including MLB Power Pros 2008 and SNK Arcade Classic Vol. 1.

PC gamers also get a really good week with a bunch of releases including Beijing Olympics 2008, City Life 2008 Edition and Everlight. As for downloadable content, be on the watch for Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 for the Xbox Live Arcade and if you’re really bored, you might want to even check out Pong Toss-Frat Party Games for the WiiWare, which is essentially a Beer Pong game without the beer. Weird, I know. Have a good week in gaming!

Pick of The Week: Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360, PS3) Read more…

Being the first full week in July, we have a decent amount of games hitting store shelves this week, but sadly another week passes without any PSP releases.

Unreal Tournament 3 finally comes to the Xbox 360, with the preview of Gears of War 2 that was leaked on to the web just over a week ago, and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon hits the Wii, both of which are easily my picks of the week.

Olympics fans can also check out the Beijing Olympics 2008 game, available on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. Hit the jump for a full list of games released this week. Read more…
